Justice
Question Period focused on justice, mainly parole hearings and bail. Conservatives said victims’ families are forced to attend parole hearings every two years, citing the families of Constable Todd Baylis and of Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy ahead of Paul Bernardo’s next hearing, and asked the government to support Conservative proposals to lengthen the interval and to tighten bail rules, citing a Sainte-Foy case where suspects were released and re-arrested. Government members, including Ministers Anandasangaree, Sahota and Fraser, said they have passed legislation to strengthen bail and sentencing and support victims, noted they have met with the Toronto Police Association and officers’ families, and said they make changes carefully so laws will withstand constitutional challenge; they also said Conservatives have voted against the government’s public safety bills. Conservatives replied that the government has had a decade to fix the system and has rejected opposition bills instead.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
